Hume T-Wall System ‘Hume T-Wall System is developed by combining the advantages of precast technology Tee section to provide a viable solution for high vertical retaining situation, The system consists of precast wall panels, integrally supported by an in situ or a semi-in situ base for stability and strength to withstand lateral and structurally efficient Double carth forces and imposed loads. Applications Soil Slope Protection for + Earthwork platforms *# Roadwork embankments and approaches to interchanges / bridges Banks for drainage / irrigation channels, Design Considerations + Reinforced concrete design to BS 8110 : The Structural Use of Concrete «Standard units are designed to the following loading requirements ‘Type Ia loading: Backfil height not exceeding 600mm with 30° slope (Figure 1) ‘ype Ib loading : Backfill surcharge of L0kPa (Figure 2) 'ype IT loading + Backiill surcharge of 20kPa (Figure 3) ‘+ Hydrostatic pressure is eliminated by the design provision of weep holes and an external drainage system along the base on the earth side of the crected wall '* Design can also be customized to suit special loading requirements, ‘© Characteristic concrete strength at 28 days - Grade 40 © Concrete cover to reinforcement - 30mm + Backfill material: Sand or other suitable soil material subject to Engincer’s approval and shall have the following characteristic Osi = 19kN/m* Coefci fective friction angle, @ > 30° *# Adequate protrusion of anchorage bars is allowed for to be embedded into in situ or semi-in situ base slab to secure precast wall panels in place snt of active earth pressure, Ka < 0.33 *# Gaps between T-wall panels are sealed by gluing strips of suitable geotextile filter ‘material along the gaps on the earth side of the wall to prevent wash out of fines Figure 1: Type b eeeeeee Figure 2 Type Tb tee LLL LLL Figure 3: Type IL 000 | two | 300 | su | 32 | tm2nsa0] uso | 1500 | 20 | sooo | tw2sso | 350 | 686 | 46 | 1B242040 | 1500 | 2000 | 25 4500 a ‘TW2445, 400 758, 53 ‘TB 2420-45 2000 2000 25 5000 TW2450, 450, 830 61 tp (2425-50 1900, 2500, 38 ss00 | tw2ass | s00 | 903 | 69 |Tu242s-s5 | 2500 | 2500 | a8 sooo [waaco | 580 | 77 |-tm2490-00 | 2450 | 3000 | 44 * Computed based on gross density Oconee» 24.5KN/a* ++ Refer to construction diagram shown on last page ‘+ For norminal height beyond 6m, please refer to Hume for special design
